So I'm sitting in the Vancouver International Airport and I look out the window at my gate on to the tarmac and lo and behold, it's the Korean Air Starcraft 2 plane. Pretty cool, never thought I would get to see it in person.

Got a shitty picture on my iPhone, but oh well.

I was at gate 42C if anyone happens to be around and wants to see the plane.

EDIT:

Finally got around to uploading pic... I told you it was shitty, but i promise this was the real thing. Anyone else see it?

That's funny, I have seen it there before. It must regularly run a flight that takes it there. Or it's been there for weeks

Yea lots and lots of koreans live in vancouver because of the distance to korea. Easiest way for koreans to get to canada, so I definitely understand this :D

lol, did i say it was JUST because of distance? Vancouver is the closest "Big canadian city" to korea, which is why there are lots of koreans there. Chill bro.

The reason Vancouver has so many asians in general is that it's actually nice to live here haha. Compared to basically the rest of Canada. Although if it's business opportunites we're after, basically everywhere else is better tho.

Very true, the only thing Vancouver lacks is

A) Better weather in the winter (PLS OH GOD NO MORE RAIN)
B) Business Opportunities, last I checked there are NO fortune 500 companies here

EDIT: Also

C) Affordable House Prices

Yeah, the fact that the summer weather is usually great doesn't make it any better that the rest of the year is rain, rain, and goddamn more rain.

Unless you like winter sports, rain > snow in the winter.

Although rain in the summer kind of sucks...

on-topic - the korean air logo is more visible than the starcraft branding...but I presume the rest of the korean air fleet isn't painted light blue all over?

It's true. It's just that, like anything, after living here and seeing them almost everyday from your backyard you tend to take the scenic mountains for granted. I'm sure I'd miss em if I lived in the flat prairies.

Snow > Rain anyday of the week. I guess you could prefer rain if you drive... but waiting for public transit, going around campus in pouring rain is just a total biatch.

No, Korean Air is all light blue all the time, with the Red and Blue dot on the tail-fin.

I live about an hour and a half away from "Little Seoul" Virginia and right next to one of the biggest international airports... So I get all sorts of fun airplanes flying in.

No SCII plane yet!
